Tens of thousands of Israelis take part in Selichot prayers (forgiveness) ahead of the Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement and the holiest of the Jewish holidays, at the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel, October 10, 2016. Yom Kippur will start on October 11 evening, when the entire country will come to a standstill as people will fast and will spend much of the day in prayers.  EPA/ABIR SULTAN
